Nostradamus
Introduction of a Wikipedia article. Complete article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostradamus
Mic
de Nostredame,
us
Latinised to Nostradamus, was a
Fre
apothecary and reputed seer who published collections of prophecies that
ha
since become famous worldwide. He is
be
known for his book Les
Prophe
( "The Prophecies "), the first edition of which appeared in 1555.
Si
the publication of this book, which has
rar
be
out of
pr
since his death,
No
has attracted a following that,
alo
with the
popul
press, credits him with
pre
many major world events. The prophecies have in some cases been assimilated to the results of
app
the alleged Bible code, as well as to other purported prophetic works.
Mo
academic sources
main
that the associations made between
wor
events and Nostradamus's quatrains are largely the
re
of
misi
or
mistranslati
(sometimes deliberate) or else are so tenuous as to render them useless as evidence of any
gen
predictive power. Moreover, none of the sources listed offers any evidence that anyone has ever interpreted any of Nostradamus's quatrains specifically enough to allow a
cle
identification of any
eve
in advance.
